As the founding chair of the department of Pharmaceutical Sciences I have had the rare opportunity to guide the department through its initial stages of development. I have been remarkably fortunate to be able to hire a cadre of very talented faculty who range from seasoned professionals, to rising young stars with brilliant futures. It is gratifying to work with so many bright minds dedicated to the ideals of a first-rate academic experience.

Our department embraces a primary commitment to the highest levels of instructional quality. Our goal is to give our students the finest education possible. We are devoted to maintaining a vibrant culture of active intellectual curiosity in which both faculty and students become actively engaged in genuine discovery. We currently have more than 60 Pharm.D. students and 3 Ph.D. students working on novel and exciting research projects, each of which has, or will soon culminate in a peer-reviewed publication or presentation in a research forum. These accomplishments have been made possible by generous gifts of our donors to whom we a sincerely indebted.
